Instantly organize photos from your shoots with the new Import Photos feature. Acquire, rename, add custom metadata, create back ups and more so your photos are already organized as they join your collection.

View, sort, cull and compare your photos in a fully customizable interface with speed that is second to none. Browse your existing collection instantly, in real time, without the need to import them into the application. Select any thumbnail to see a larger preview, or double-click to have the photo fill the screen.

Access and adjust existing embedded IPTC and EXIF information, and embed your own custom metadata, including categories, keywords and ratings. You can even embed metadata with file formats that don't include IPTC or EXIF fields.

Retrieve photos with amazing flexibility. Browse your live folder tree, leverage your metadata, use the Calendar view, enter multi-word phrases in the Quick Search bar, and save complex searches in the Search pane. Filter, group and sort results to instantly retrieve images.

Perfect your images with non-destructive RAW processing and advanced pixel-level editing. Control everything from white balance to sharpness with the peace of mind of knowing your originals can be restored anytime. Add a finishing touch to your photos with a custom border, drop shadow or edge effect. Plus, save time by globally adjusting hundreds of photos at once with the batch processor.

Easily create contact sheets and high-quality prints with optimized print templates. Share selected shots through e-mail and web galleries. Display in an auto slide show -- now enhanced with pan and zoom, black and white and sepia effects. Archive your collection to .ZIP folders, CD or DVD, and synchronize with your external hard drives.
